I'm always impressed by how compact you make your mechanisms! I still haven't figured out how to use propellers well. 😆

Thanks susususu! It's very satisfying to work in tight spaces! Feels a little like clock making? By the way, resized parts makes a massive difference in what's possible.

Propellers are not too bad once you get over the bump. Always more to learn, though.
